Just out of curiosity, did anyone actually ever finish any of these programs?

All I hear are crickets.

Day 1 down...not horrible.. but my quads are burning like hell... guess some of the leg exercises are working muscles i dont use in soccer....

and to death metal... im not the type to just quit... i have started a picture/weight log and will post in 20 day intervals...

Good deal, brother I wish the utmost success for you.

I just hear of GOBS of people running this program for a few weeks, getting all 'rah-rah' P90, then...

Rockstar21

iTrader: (1)

day 2 was worse, much longer workouts..

but I don't feel as bad afterwards.. hopefully the soreness starts to fade in a week or two.. it's making my job a bit miserable.

Mr Marco

I ate an entire family sized pan of Costco lasagna today.

Most people die prior to completion due to exertion...

hornyleprechaun

My friend is doing it now. Not 100% if he's following the program or not, but I think he'll at least try to finish.

Rockstar21

iTrader: (1)

most people likely do quit at some point into it.

but there are many who finish.. the results are all over youtube. pretty much my motivation.

hornyleprechaun

Corndog what is your starting height/weight?

cM3go

Yup I have, and I did see results! Since I'm training for the Men's Health Urbanathlon now, I have switched to running outside and lifting so I haven't started Insanity again.

Rockstar21

iTrader: (1)

i dont plan to re-visit the program once im done either.

this is strictly to lose a weight goal and tone my exisiting muscles...

the people that do 3,4,5 cycles are shaped funny and almost look unhealthy.... to me.

Rockstar21

iTrader: (1)

i just wanted to check by in with you guys on this..

week one is complete and i've lost just over 9lbs. (about a lb. per day.)

i know a majority of it is due to the diet but the rate of weight loss is pretty staggering..

the program is helping me burn more calories then im taking in...
hopefully by week 3 i can hit my 20lb. goal...

Rockstar21

iTrader: (1)

update:

almost the end of week 3 and im down 19lbs.

by tomorrow or sunday i'll be at my original 20lb. goal..

i'd still like to lose another 10 after that... and im sure i can achieve that by the end of the 7th-8th week.

starting to see a small difference. but feel much lighter on the feet.

23lbs as of yesterday..

weight loss is becoming harder but shape is changeing more rapidly.

i've started going to the gym as well. diet is still going strong.

stogie1020

Nice!!!!

WdnUlik2no

I am strongly considering this, but I don't know if I'll be able to do this, my regular weight training at the gym, AND then football on the weekends. My knees wouldn't like this very much and I'll probably have to cut something out if I were to start P90X.

Rockstar21

iTrader: (1)

the bottom has dropped out on my weight loss at 23 lbs.

im starting a new diet this week to see if it helps my metabolism any.

im still constantly changing shape though... waist is still losing inches and face is becoming thinner.

mdkxtreme

It's a very good sign when you see that your face is getting thinner

That means you're doing it right

Rockstar21

iTrader: (1)

so week 6.. i suppose i should share some results with you guys.

i've lost about 30 lbs. in about 47-50 days...
i still want to lose another 15 or so and then start the real muscle building...

just consider this days 1/25/45...

i should be ready for next summer

stogie1020

Wow, good effort and good results!

Shawn T is kicking your ass!

Rockstar21

iTrader: (1)

thanks man, im really enjoying the changes...

its also helping to get me through a pretty rough break up recently... getting my confidence up will only help me in the moving on process.

Rockstar21

iTrader: (1)

still at it... still losing weight (much slower now)

and with the addition of running and the gym, i can now eat more foods than just nasty diet meals and tiny portions.

muscles are starting to gain strength and areas on the chest/stomach are slowly getting tight and burning the remaining fat.

i hope to start seeing abs (at least upper) in the next 2-3 weeks.

i'll just add a picture to my timeline each time.
btw, from first to last is just over 30 lbs. in just over 2 months.

Very impressive

fsttyms1

Awesome work.

Rockstar21

iTrader: (1)

Thanks guys.. My biggest motivation is the compliments from everyone starting to notice.

Rockstar21

finally down 40 lbs.

will continue to work out, will post progress pics soon.

coykiam

wow what a progress! might pick this up...just signed up for bootcamp and already lost 5 lbs in a week!

Rockstar21

iTrader: (1)

well, considering im not on insanity program anymore, its almost moot to keep posting my updates in here, but i dont want to make a thread just for myself... so here are my current results.

im going to the gym about 4 times a week and playing indoor soccer on fridays for cardio.

im continuing to lose weight (slowly) but it is going away. i REALLLLY want those abs by summer and i can see tiny signs of a breakthrough, but i need to go super strict on my diet to achieve that.

anyways. here is where im at right now.

clarky0169

Excellent work - what is your plan to get abs by summer? what is your current diet?

Rockstar21

iTrader: (1)

i'd like to have a clear visual of abs by May if possible. My diet is very sporatic and i know that has to change, but im definitely not eating terrible. just not consistent in calorie intake or portions.

i'd need something planned out to follow, b/c what im doing now is great for slowly losing weight but not cutting tons of surface fat, which is what i need.

my abs are much more apparent in "feel" i do about 120 situps on a normal workout day and up to 200 on core days, but its not eliminating the layer of fat on top of them.

im assuming that has to do with my diet. so starting in the next few days, i will be tracking food stats and eating smaller portions, more often to get my metabolism up and crank fat loss through the roof. less weight and more reps at the gym also.

my muscle build will be put on hold but im already at a good size and can get back easily if i decline too much in strength.

cM3go

Wow your progress is AMAZING! Great job Rockstar, keep it going!

some final stuff before i start my building process.

i hit my final goal of 50 lbs of weight loss!

started at 225 and dropped to 175 some time last week.
its been a tough journey and i loved every minute of it (almost)

i even have some abs trying to creep out! (just in time for the beach!)

so here is my progress that started nearly 8 months ago. (last picture being about a week ago.


i credit everything to good ol' fashioned hard work, dieting, support from friends and family.

YeuEmMaiMai

I am down 20 lbs in 4 weeks just by busting butt at the gym and that workout is hard to do...maybe I'll give this insanity thing a try

Mizouse

I went thru 5 weeks of this thing before leaving on my trip, only lost about 4lbs and an inch off my waist.

I did have a better diet too, but maybe it wasn't enough

mdkxtreme

Were you heavily sweating after each exercise? Most of the time what you put in is what you get out.

I only do their Cardio exercises though. As fit as I think I am, I always end up sweating like crazy afterwards.

Mizouse

Yes I was sweating like crazy. It literally looked like I jumped into a pool and came out. That's how much sweat I was dripping.

mdkxtreme

I don't think the weight is an issue cause you might just be gaining them through muscle. I'd say the inch off your waist is a better scale to look at.

Mizouse

But 1 inch in 5 weeks?
